An observation

[torquill]

I am learning the true meaning of "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

It isn't coming down on my head, fortunately... but I can see the effect of others' actions, done according to what they feel is right and (sometimes) helpful. They honestly believe it's the right thing to do. And in some cases it would be; in others, I can't conceive of a situation where it would be anything but wrong.

Empathy seems to be a rare quality indeed of late.

Please, think before you do unto others; not everyone is coming from your perspective.

In my world, right now, empathy is warring with compassion fatigue.

Just in case you're talking about me... heh.

I've spent a long time trying to find the right balance between think-before-you-do and always-think-never-do. This is a huge change for me, and I might trip and fall, but I really really hope I don't.

Now, if you're not talking about me, carry on. :-P :-)

So so so not talking about you right now. :)

If you ever notice that about me, pull me to the side and smack me upside the head, okay, please.

I don't believe I've been up to anything lately that could be so dramatic, but I could be truly clueless.
